SAFETY
Helpful should also feel safe
These simple rules protect the people asking for help, the people sharing stories, and the staff supporting the project.
When asking for help
- Send only the information needed for the question
- Never send passwords, card numbers, banking details, or full identity documents
- Do not ask us to pretend to be you, sign for you, or make a commitment in your name
- Use official emergency or professional services when the situation requires them
When joining an activity
- Participation is for adults and is reviewed before filming
- We explain the project and confirm written consent before recording
- Photo participants may choose face shown or blurred according to the signed agreement
- Short video participation requires agreement to show the participant's face
- A participant may decline a question or stop the session if they feel uncomfortable
When a story is published
- We do not publish private contact details
- We review the story and presentation with the participant according to the consent process
- We may edit for length, clarity, safety, and translation without changing the intended meaning
- We remove content that could identify or harm another person
Meeting people safely
For any future community activity, we will state the organizer, location, time, participation rules, and contact method. Use public venues, follow staff instructions, and tell staff immediately if something feels unsafe.
